Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease commonly found in middle-aged and elderly people,and its onset is attributable to both genetic and environmental factors. The gene mutation and oxidative damage of DJ-1 correlate with familial and sporadic PD,respectively. The mechanisms by which DJ-1 gene mutation and oxidative damage lead to PD include oxidative stress,mitochondrial dysfunction and proteasome dysfunction.Furthermore,DJ-1 is a biomarker of sporadic PD and it may become a new potential target of anti-PD drugs.

To study the in situ intestinal absorption kinetics and compatibility influence of peimine and peiminine in rats, the absorption of peimine and peiminine in small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and colon of rats was investigated using in situ single-pass perfusion method and the drug content was measured by HPLC-ELSD. Perfusion rate, pH, concentration of drug, gender and bile duct ligation can significantly affect the absorption of peimine and peiminine, the Ka, and Papp values in the condition of pH 6.8 and pH 7.4 had significant difference (P<0.01), as drug concentration irlcreased, the absorption parameters of peimine and peiminine decreased, Ka and Papp between low concentrations and middle concentrations was significant difference (P<0.01). Verapamil can not affect Ka and Papp of peimine and peiminine which are in the extract (P> 0.05). Bitter almonds and licorice can significantly reduce the absorption of peimine and peiminine with the usual dose (P<0.01), extracted separately and together had no significant difference on Ka and Papp (P> 0.05). Experimental results show that the absorption features of peimine and peiminine are basically the same, both of them could be absorbed at all segments of the intestine in rats and had no special absorption window, and with significant differences between male and female individuals. The absorption of peimine and peiminine complies with the active transport and facilitated diffusion in the general intestinal segments. Bitter almond and licorice can reduce the intestinal absorption rate ofpeimine and peiminine.

Objective To study the possible mechanisms by which repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) pretreatment antagonizes seizures induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine and any correlation with antiapoptosis in hippocampal CA1 neurons.Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into a control group, a sham stimulation group and an rTMS pretreatment group. The rTMS pretreatment group was pretreated on 7 consecutive days with low-frequency rTMS (0.5 Hz, 75％ of threshold intensity, 20 times/bundle, and 5 bundles/d), while the sham-stimulation group was sham-stimulated with a similar sound. Lithium chloride-pilocarpine ( LPC ) was used to induce a model epileptic state.Epileptic stroke latency and severity were recorded ; neuronal morphology was observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining; mean positive-reactive cell number and mean optical density and absorbance of B cell lymphoma/leukemia gene-2 (Bcl-2) were recorded, and Fas and Caspase-3 protein in the hippocampal CA1 region were observed with immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the sham stimulation group, epileptic latency in the rTMS pretreatment group was significantly longer. Seizures in the rTMS pretreatment group were less severe, and a number of degenerated neurons were observed to be apoptotic. Bcl-2 protein expression increased at each time point, but Fas and Caspase-3 protein expression decreased.Conclusions rTMS pretreatment has an anti-epilepsy effect. The possible neuronal protection might be produced by regulating the expression of Bcl-2, Fas and Caspase-3 protein in the hippocampus.

Objective To analyzed the left ventricular (LV) regional and global strains in coronary artery stenosis by using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) and two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) for the assessment of left ventricular systolic function,and to compare the clinical values between 3D-STI and 2D-STI in the detection of coronary stenosis.Methods 39 patients with coronary artery stenosis and 32 sex-age matched controls were enrolled in this study.Coronary artery stenosis group was divided into ischemic group and non-ischemic group.Real-time three dimensional full volume and two-dimensional dynamic image of the LV were obtained and then analyzed by off-line analysis software.The parameters of 3D-STI were three-dimensional longitudinal strain (3D-LS),circumferential strain (3D-CS),radial strain (3D-RS),area strain (3D-AS),global longitudinal strain (3D-GLS),global circumferential train (3D-GCS),global radial strain (3D-GRS) and global area strain (3D-GAS).The parameters of 2D-STI were two-dimensional longitudinal strain (2D-LS),circumferential strain (2D-CS),radial strain (2D-RS),global longitudinal strain (2D-GLS),global circumferential train (2D-GCS) and global radial strain (2D-GRS).The global/regional strains derived from 3D-STI and 2D-STI in patient group and controls were analyzed for comparing their efficacy in detecting coronary artery stenosis.Results Compared with non-ischemic group,2D-LS,2D-CS,3D-LS,3D-CS and 3D-AS were lower in ischemic group (P ＜0.05).ROC curves showed the sensitivity of 2D-LS,3D-LS and 3D-AS for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia was 60.1％,64.2 ％ and 74.0 ％,while the specificity of them was 60.0％,61.0％ and 63.1％,respectively.There was no significant difference in 2D-GCS and 2D-GRS between coronary artery stenosis group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,2D-GLS,3D-GLS,3D-GCS,3D-GRS and 3D-GAS were significantly lower in coronary artery stenosis group (P ＜0.05).ROC curves showed the sensitivity of 2D-GLS,3D-GLS and 3D-GAS in the diagnosis of coronary artery stenosis was 61.3％,73.3％ and 79.3 ％,while the specificity was 65.4％,66.0 ％ and 70.8 ％,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of 3D-GAS were the highest in these parameters.It is revealed that 2D-GLS,2D-GCS and 2D-GRS were correlated with LVEF (r1 =-0.668,P1 ＜0.001 ;r2 =-0.551,P2 ＜0.001 ;r3 =0.310,P3 ＜0.05),and 3D-GLS,3D-GCS,3D-GRS,3D-GAS were correlated with LVEF (r1 =-0.634,P1 ＜0.001 ;r2 =-0.672,P2＜0.001 ;r3 =0.698,P3＜0.001 ;r4 =-0.707,P4＜0.001).The correlate of 3D-GAS and LVEF was higher than other parameters.Conclusions 3D-STI is superior to 2D-STI in assessing regional and global left ventricular systolic function in patients with coronary artery stenosis,and 3D-GAS derived from 3D-STI is a ideal parameter of detecting significant coronary artery stenosis based on its highest sensitivity and specificity.
